The online musical starring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day was a hit in the web world.

CW President Mark Pedowitz said he was a huge fan of the video when it first launched. He wasn’t alone: “Dr. Horrible’s” scored 2.2 million views in the first week; so far it has drawn more than 50 million viewers.

Pedowitz told critics at TCA that he tried to acquire the film when he was at ABC Studios “for an ABC digital play.” He said he’s hoping if/when Whedon decides to do a sequel, he’ll consider doing it for CW.

Joanne Ostrow has been watching TV since before "reality" required quotation marks. "Hill Street Blues" was life-changing. If Dickens, Twain or Agatha Christie were alive today, they'd be writing for television. And proud of it.
